Work with Adobe Illustrator plugins using LastMenu.
Professional users will get considerable benefits by using
LastMenu while working with plugins in Adobe Illustrator. As a
rule, the list of filters in Adobe Illustrator is long. And it
takes much time to call almost the same items of menu all the time
during everyday work. LastMenu allows to call plugins faster. Using
keyboard you may quickly apply for necessary plugin by pressing the
chosen keys combination. With the help of suggested default keys "Ctrl+Spacebar"
you may call the last menu without looking at keyboard. Anyway you
may assign another keys combination for plugins call-in if the given
combination is already kept in Adobe Illustrator.

LastMenu while working with menu and plugins in Adobe Illustrator you may
read here.
Below you can find the information about enriched possibilities
which LastMenu gives to experienced users of Adobe Illustrator.
Usually when you call LastMenu you see the menu you referred to. For
example,
|
|
|
Call plugin from menu |
LastMenu call |
In other words, you get the latest menu you referred to.
But sometimes the situation appears when one needs to get quickly
not only the latest menu but menu of a higher level than that you
referred to the last time.
For example, you want to get access to all plugins at once by
pressing "Ctrl+Spacebar" as it is shown in the figure.
It is easy. It is enough to hold Ctrl button or
right button of mouse while choosing of plugin.
Let’s consider such examples.
1. Enter menu and choose plugin Adjust Colors... by holding Ctrl
button
2. Then after pressing "Ctrl+Spacebar" (or chosen keys combination)
you get full list of plugins.
In other words, by holding Ctrl you make the "last" that
menu which is above that item which you chose. This possibility you
may use not only while working with plugins but with other items of
menu.
